Greg Kelly (Greg? Kelly) finally waited for his long-awaited trial.

American Kelly was accused of being Carlos Ghosn, former chairman of Nissan Motor Company. Ghosn) accomplice. Ghosn has fled, leaving Kelly alone in Japan awaiting trial.

Tomorrow (September 2020 15), over the Tokyo court, with the end of this high-profile case, Nissan's palace fight drama will also come to an end.

Coincidentally, this day in September of 15 happened to be Kelly's 64th birthday, and nearly two years have passed since he was arrested in October of 20 18+065438 10.

On Christmas Day 20 18, Kelly was released on bail, but he must abide by the bail agreement and cannot leave Japan. In the past two years, Kelly's job in Japan has been to rummage through mountains of evidence with lawyers to prepare for his defense.

Before being arrested, Kelly was a human resources manager. He worked hard and climbed from the basic position of Nissan in Tennessee to the global executive position of Nissan. He was accused of being the mastermind of Ghosn's salary extension. During the fiscal year of 20 10-20 17, * * concealed Ghosn's deferred salary of more than 80 million dollars, resulting in the salary information not appearing in Nissan's public financial documents.

Ghosn and Kelly were arrested by Japanese prosecutors that day. Kelly was released on bail after more than 1 month, and Ghosn was arrested and released several times. Finally, Ghosn jumped bail and fled to his hometown Lebanon at the end of February 20 19.

If convicted, Kelly may face up to 10 years in prison in Japan.

Kelly's trial will be long. It is expected that the trial will last until July 20021year, and the final judgment will not be earlier than autumn 20021year.

As a commercial entity, Nissan will also be tried. Nissan Motor Company is not expected to dispute these allegations, but Kelly and Ghosn insist that they are innocent.

Kelly first served as the regional human resources director of Nissan in Nashville, then became the executive vice president of Renault-Nissan Alliance, and finally became a director of Nissan's board of directors.

Kelly said that the part of the funds allocated by Nissan specifically for Ghosn did not belong to the established deferred compensation. On the contrary, this is a normal draft law on post-retirement employment contracts, which aims to keep Ghosn as a consultant for Japanese automakers and prevent him from jumping ship to competitors.

Kelly insisted that the amount of deferred payment was never determined, the contract was never signed, and no payment was made at all.

Kelly's American defense lawyer James wareham (James? Wareham) said that the two sides never reached a deal and did not form an agreement. This law is absurd and vague, and he is obviously innocent.

This case has aroused international support for Kelly. Kelly worked for Japanese automakers in the last few years of her career.

This year, three US senators published an open letter in support of Kelly. Mississippi Senator Roger? Wake, Tennessee Senator Lamar? Alexander and Martha? Blackburn called Kelly's plight a "warning case" for Americans working in Japan.

Kelly was forbidden to leave Japan while awaiting bail. He and his wife have been living in an apartment in Tokyo, and he has been living here since he left Nashville for Japan. In order to stay in Japan, his wife has been studying Japanese on a student visa, and must always keep good grades, otherwise she may lose her legal immigration status.

Witnesses who will appear in Kelly's trial may include Hiroshi, former CEO of Nissan Motor Company? Saikawa).

Ghosn was originally the best witness to support Kelly, but he is no longer in Japan. William said that Kelly understood Ghosn's escape from Japan without Kelly and had no complaints.

Kelly's legal team faces many challenges, including mining effective information from mountains of evidence and not being able to access dozens of boxes of documents. According to lawyers, these documents were detained by Japanese prosecutors.

The first batch of evidence provided by Japanese prosecutors is the database of 1 1tb-equivalent to 1 100 million documents.

Prosecutors said that since then, they have collected 84 boxes of materials. However, Willem said that as of the week before the trial, about 70 boxes of information were not shared with Kelly.

Besides, language communication will be another challenge.

Willem added that the court rejected Kelly's request for simultaneous interpretation during the proceedings. The court will adopt consecutive interpretation, which will double the trial time.

Another controversial point is that the trial is expected to end in July 20021year, but the final judgment will not be released until more than two months later-this cycle is too long.

"Generally speaking, Japan's legal system is barbaric, outdated and very unfair." Jiang Ning said helplessly.
